You’re not dealing with a slow drip anymore. You’ve got actual water pressure that doesn’t drop every time someone turns on a faucet. Your water bill stops climbing for no reason.
The bigger win? You’re not wondering when the next leak is coming. Kitec systems fail without warning because the brass fittings break down from the inside out. Once we replace it with copper piping that actually lasts, you’re looking at 50 to 100 years of reliability instead of counting down to the next disaster.
Your homeowner’s insurance stops treating your property like a liability. Some carriers won’t even cover homes with Kitec anymore, and the ones that do charge more for it. Getting it replaced removes that risk entirely. If you’re planning to sell, you won’t have to disclose a plumbing system that scares off buyers or tanks your home value.
We’ve spent over 24 years handling the specific challenges that come with Land Park homes. Most of the houses here were built in the ’30s and ’40s, but the ones that got Kitec were built or remodeled between 1995 and 2007. That’s our wheelhouse.
We’re a family-owned company, licensed and insured, with a 4.7-star Google rating built on showing up when we say we will and charging what we quote. No surprise fees. No runaround. We know Land Park homeowners care about their properties, and we treat them that way.
Sacramento’s hard water and temperature swings make plumbing problems worse here than in other parts of the state. We factor that into every Kitec repair in Land Park, CA because we’ve seen what happens when you don’t.
First, we come out and assess what you’ve got. That means identifying where your Kitec lines run, checking for active leaks, and figuring out how much of your system needs replacing. Most of the time, if part of it is failing, the rest isn’t far behind.
Once we know the scope, we give you a clear price before we start any work. No estimates that balloon later. For most Land Park homes, a full repipe runs between $5,000 and $15,000 depending on size and complexity. Smaller homes can come in around $4,500. Larger properties with more fixtures might hit $30,000, but that’s rare.
The actual work takes a few days. We replace your old Kitec lines with copper piping that’s built to last. You can stay in your home the whole time and keep your normal routine. We’re not tearing apart your whole house. Once it’s done, you’ve got a system that won’t fail on you in five years.
Ready to get started?
You get a full system evaluation that tells you exactly what’s wrong and what it’ll cost to fix. We’re not interested in selling you repairs you don’t need, but we’re also not going to patch a system that’s going to fail again in six months.
If you’ve got an active leak, we respond the same day for emergencies. Most calls get answered within a few hours. Burst pipes don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our 24/7 emergency service means you’re not mopping up water at 2 AM while waiting for someone to call you back.
Land Park’s mature trees and older infrastructure mean your pipes are dealing with shifting soil and root intrusion on top of Kitec’s built-in failure rate. We account for that. Sacramento’s weather swings from drought to storms, and that puts stress on underground lines that most plumbers outside the area don’t think about.
When we replace your Kitec, you’re getting American-made copper with a 50-year warranty minimum. Some of it lasts 100 years. Compare that to Kitec, which was recalled in 2005 and has been failing ever since.
Check your water heater, under your sinks, and in your basement or crawl space if you have one. Kitec pipes are usually blue or orange, sometimes gray. The fittings are brass and often stamped with “Kitec” or “KTC.”
If your home was built or remodeled between 1995 and 2007, there’s a decent chance you’ve got it. That’s when Kitec was most commonly installed in Sacramento, Folsom, Roseville, and surrounding areas. Land Park has fewer homes from that era than newer developments, but renovations during those years could have added it.
If you’re not sure, call us. We can identify it in minutes and tell you what condition it’s in. Waiting to find out when a pipe bursts is the expensive way to get an answer.
A full repipe for most Land Park homes runs between $5,000 and $15,000. Smaller homes with fewer fixtures can come in around $4,500. Larger properties with complex layouts might hit $30,000, but that’s not typical.
If you’re just dealing with a single leak and the rest of your system is still holding up, an emergency repair might cost less. But here’s the reality: Kitec doesn’t fail in just one spot. The same issue that caused one leak is happening throughout your system. Fixing one section now usually means fixing another section in six months.
The total cost of multiple repairs adds up fast and often exceeds what a full replacement would have cost upfront. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether a patch job makes sense or if you’re better off replacing the whole system.
A full system replacement takes a few days, usually three to five depending on your home’s size and how accessible your plumbing is. You can stay in your home the whole time and keep your normal routine. We’re not gutting walls or making your house unlivable.
If it’s an emergency repair for an active leak, we can usually stop the water and stabilize things within a few hours of your call. Same-day response is standard for us, especially when you’ve got water flooding your floors.
Land Park’s older homes sometimes have plumbing that’s harder to access, especially if your lines run under a concrete slab. That can add time, but we’ll tell you upfront what to expect. No surprises.
It depends on your policy and what caused the damage. Most homeowner’s insurance will cover sudden water damage from a burst pipe, but they won’t cover the cost of replacing your Kitec system itself. That’s considered maintenance.
Here’s the bigger issue: insurance companies know Kitec is a liability. Some won’t insure homes with it at all. Others will, but they’ll charge higher premiums because the failure rate is so high. If you’re trying to sell your home, you’re legally required to disclose that you have Kitec, and that scares off buyers.
Replacing your Kitec system removes all of that. Your insurance rates can drop, you’re not dealing with claim complications, and your home becomes easier to sell. It’s not just about fixing a leak. It’s about eliminating a known risk.
Dropping water pressure is usually the first sign. If your shower pressure isn’t what it used to be or your faucets are running weak, that’s often mineral buildup or corrosion inside the pipes. Sacramento’s moderately hard water makes this worse.
Higher water bills without a clear reason mean you’ve got a leak somewhere, even if you can’t see it. Slab leaks under your foundation can waste hundreds of gallons a day without any visible water. You’ll just see the bill climb.
Discolored water, especially if it’s rusty or brown, means your pipes are corroding from the inside. Kitec’s brass fittings break down through a process called dezincification—basically, the zinc separates from the brass and weakens the whole fitting. Once that starts, failure is inevitable. You’re not wondering if it’ll burst. You’re wondering when.
You can, but it’s a short-term fix for a system-wide problem. Kitec fails because of how it’s made. The brass fittings have too much zinc, and when that zinc breaks down, the fittings get brittle and crack. That’s happening throughout your entire system, not just where you see a leak today.
Fixing one spot now means you’ll be fixing another spot in a few months. Then another. The costs add up fast, and you’re still dealing with the stress of wondering when the next leak is coming. Most homeowners who try to patch Kitec end up spending more on multiple repairs than they would have spent replacing the whole system upfront.
If your system is still mostly intact and you’re just dealing with one small issue, we’ll tell you. But if we see signs that the rest of it is deteriorating, we’re going to recommend a full replacement because that’s what actually solves the problem. We’re not here to sell you the same repair three times.
